Job 12:20

A Conservative Version

He removes the speech of the trustworthy, and takes away the understanding of the elders.

See the chapter Copy

It is not the great who are wise, nor the aged who understand justice.

For thou have hid their heart from understanding. Therefore thou shall not exalt [them].

He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.

Lying lips are an abomination to LORD, but those who deal truly are his delight.

The lips of truth shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

The lips of a righteous man feeds many, but the foolish die for lack of understanding.

because God has deprived her of wisdom, nor has he imparted understanding to her.
